      Hello, people, First of all I apologize if Im not posting in the correct forum. and second, you will soon realize, for my gramatics being crippled since english is not my main language, Im south american.

      I like to bet in sports (mainly football, tennis, basketball) since 10 or 14 years ago. I cant calculate how much I lose, but may be a few thousands dollars. The last bankrupt was yesterday: I had deposit 20 dollars and went up to 1000. I couldnt withdraw because my new credit card hadnt arrived yet, so I kept betting. When I was like 600 dollars I was mad as hell and you can guess what I did, lost everything on a single bet.

      600 dollars may not be a big figure for some here but its two weeks of my wage. Its getting worse since its my wofe bortg

      Hello John and thanks for starting a thread in the Gambling Therapy forums

      Here at Gambling Therapy we pride ourselves on being a caring and diverse online community who can help and support you with the difficulties you’re currently facing. We understand that this might be a tough time for you, particularly if you’re new to recovery, so come here as often as you need to and participate in the forums, access online groups and connect to the live advice helpline if you need one to one support. We’re in this together!

      Here on the forum you can share your experiences in a safe, supportive and accepting environment. The beauty of writing it all down is that you can take your time and you will be creating a record of your progress that you can look back on if it ever feels like you’re not moving forward. So, share as much or as little as you like but do try to stick to keeping just one thread in this forum so people know where to find you if they want to be updated on your progress or share something with you.

      As well as the forums New Members are invited to join Charles in the New Members Practical Advice Group On Mondays at 21:00 (UK) and Thursday at 19:00(UK)

      And on that note….

      I’m going to hand you over to our community because I’m sure they will have some words of wisdom for you 🙂

      Take care
